Imagine the ‘63 Rose Bowl with the Minnesota defense against undefeated USC…

I bought a parking pass for general on-campus parking—that said, I have no idea where we are going at this point…

The 9:00 am United flight to Denver is full of maroon & gold!

We ran a great fake punt from deep in our own territory for a first down—we were ahead 14-0 or 17-0 at one point?

Colorado came into the 1972 game a top five or top ten team. It was Cal Stoll’s first home game as coach. I was a fourth grader impressed by the cowboy hats and cowboy boots of the Buffalo fans—the visiting fans sat below us in section 26 at Memorial Stadium.

Two disheartening and ominous statistics: no sacks or plays longer than 31 yards in two games—some hope for latter; for the former the push from Pinckney & Martin up front does not seem to be materializing…two long field goals provides a reason to smile, though..

Admission/apology is meaningless for player safety until those responsible (on the field and in the replay booth) are formally and publicly reprimanded so that is recognized as full fledged error. Otherwise given the precedent established by this non-call in the first week of the season it is...

I imagine we were the favorite in all of the games except for Auburn, Washington State and possibly Georgia Tech and Fresno State…we’re in for a dogfight for the blackjack game at Colorado…

I fear there is a Mo element impossible to replace: the intangible of his supreme confidence with the ball in his hands down the stretch in a tight and tough game. (See Auburn and Nebraska 2020.)

Apparently the Big Ten point of emphasis for 2021officiating is protecting Badger punt returners—forget about a launched blow to the head against a defensive-less Gopher receiver.

Here’s a possibility: At Memorial Stadium there was a section around mid-field likely about 10-20 rows up where dignitaries sat (U President; Regents; elected officials and they sat on folding chairs); I believe I once saw in the on-line University of Minnesota archive a picture of Hubert...

Thank you for your comment. Congratulations on the Buckeye victory. The talent is remarkable and the coaching is very good. Forgive us for our suspicions/hunches for they are not completely irrational. In our last two games with OSU (I may be missing a game in between) two targeting calls...

Too many OSU fans in 243…

Frosty the Woe-Man…

I’m now in full-fledged Gopher football superstition mode—good karma for Minnesota means wishing all teams well (even in the battle of entitled child vs. boorish Brett)…
